Three point charges are arranged along the xx axis. Charge q1q1q1 = -4.70 nCnC is located at x=x= 0.220 mm and charge q2q2q2 = 2.70 nCnC is at x=x= -0.350 mm . A positive point charge q3q3 is located at the origin.
a) What must the value of q3q3 be for the net force on this point charge to have magnitude 3.40 μNμN ?
b)What is the direction of the net force on q3q3?
c)Where along the x axis can q3q3 be placed and the net force on it be zero, other than the trivial answers of x=+∞x=+∞ and x=−∞x=−∞?
